Storyline

1999-2005

Steffy was born on September 21, 1999 (later SORAS-ed to 1989) along with her sister Phoebe Forrester. Her mother, Taylor Forrester nearly died giving birth to her and her sister. Her father is Ridge Forrester. Steffy was named after her grandmother Stephanie. Their mother suffered from tuberculosis during the pregnancy, but survived the complicated delivery.

In February 2001, Ridge and Taylor took the twins and their older brother Thomas to Saint Thomas where they renewed their wedding vows. Later the family, along with the babysitter Catherine, took a boat trip, and two-year-old Steffy fell overboard during stormy weather and was presumed eaten by sharks. However, Steffy turned up weeks later at Morgan DeWitt's house. Morgan, an old flame of Ridge's who desperately wanted to have his child, had kidnapped her and was holding her captive. Taylor grew suspicious of Morgan and was shocked to discover Steffy in her house. As Taylor was about to take her daughter home, Morgan returned and held them both captive. Ridge eventually saved his wife and child by driving his car through Morgan's house as she was about to shoot Taylor. Morgan was eventually committed to a psychiatric institution.

Family problems continued to spiral when Taylor was presumed dead after being shot by Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), Steffy and her siblings wanted Bridget Forrester to live with them and raise them. Instead, Ridge married Brooke Logan the all time rival of their mother Taylor, and they were raised by her. A new addition, R.J Forrester was added to their family when Brooke and Ridge had their first child together. Years later, Taylor was revealed to be alive and Ridge and Taylor renewed vows. The following year, they split up due to Taylor revealing the truth about her sleeping with a man named James in 1993. Steffy left town for schooling in England.

2008-2010

The character of Steffy Forrester, as played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, returns in 2008 to The Bold & Beautiful.

•Upon her return to LA from boarding school, Steffy begins working at Forrester Creations where she meets Marcus Walton. By digging around in Marcus' past, Steffy finds out that Marcus is actually the son of Donna Logan Forrester, shocking everyone with her discovery. Marcus and Steffy start dating, however, the relationship becomes complicated as Marcus' mother, Donna, fires all of Steffy's relatives from Forrester Creations. Steffy and Marcus split up soon afterward.

•In a heartbreaking event, Steffy's twin sister, Phoebe Forrester, is killed in a car accident resulting from an argument with Phoebe's ex-boyfriend, Rick Forrester. (Despite their same last names, Steffy and Phoebe Forrester are not related by blood to Rick Forrester; it was proven through DNA testing in more recent years that Steffy and Phoebe's father, Ridge, was in fact the biological son of Massimo Marone, therefore not a blood relative to Eric Forrester.) The reason for Rick and Phoebe's argument was about Rick's involvement with Phoebe and Steffy's mother, Taylor. Shortly after Phoebe's death, Steffy takes a romantic interest in Rick. They become extremely close and eventually get engaged, despite angst among their family members. When it is discovered that Rick is being stalked, Steffy's family wisks her away from him to protect her. Rick and Steffy split up after Ridge proves to everyone that Rick was only using Steffy to get back at him [Ridge] because of a past grudge.

•Steffy helps her family win Forrester Creations back from the control of Bill Spencer Jr. by pretending to seduce Bill. Her efforts are successful as she manipulates and cons Bill, pressuring him into returning the company to full ownership of the Forresters -Ridge, Eric, Stephanie, Taylor-(R.E.S.T.) further ensuring that none of the Logan sisters -Brooke, Donna and Katie- will have any part in the company.

•Steffy re-creates the competitive scenario that Brooke and Taylor went through in years prior by setting her designs on Hope Logan's boyfriends. Steffy's first conquest is Hope's (then) boyfriend, Oliver, however, Steffy fails in her attempts at dating him. As a result, she becomes more envious toward Hope and the Logan family.

•Steffy has a short-lived change of heart and tries to make amends with Hope by making a video of Hope's graduation party and masquerade ball. Though a noble attempt at a peace offering, her efforts only fueled the feud between the two girls and their families.

•The video Steffy made for Hope was later tampered with by Liam Cooper (Bill Spencer, Jr's long-lost biological son) and caused a huge stir and upset among the family members and with.the press. Becoming curious through some undercover sleuthing, Liam discovered that Hope's mother, Brooke, and Hope's boyfriend, Oliver, had sexual intercourse at the masquerade party, proof of which was caught on the tape that Steffy made for Hope. Unbeknownst to Steffy or anyone else, Liam maliciously leaked the video by tampering with the file on Steffy's computer. Liam's underhanded maneuver implicated Steffy, who was in charge of the fashion show's production. Brooke and Oliver's encounter was shown to all who attended the fashion show, including family and friends of the Forresters, as well as big names in the fashion industry, and the press. (Both Oliver and Brooke had been unaware of one another's true identities the night of the party, each thinking the other to be Ridge and Hope; factors leading to the mistaken identities were many: both were wearing masquerade clothing and masks, loud music was playing in the background, and Brooke had on a significant necklace that Oliver had given to Hope. Brooke had found the necklace and innocently wore it to the party with intentions of giving it to Hope when she saw her.)

•Ramifications of the news of Brooke and Oliver's affair were numerous:

-Hope disowned her mother, Brooke, though later Hope forgave Brooke for the affair with Oliver.

-Hope and Oliver tried to salvage their relationship but eventually split up, leaving Steffy plenty of opportunity to date Oliver. (Oliver was disinterested and rejected Steffy's advances.)

-Liam and Hope began talking and became romantically interested in one another, sharing a kiss.

-Ridge fired Steffy from Forrester Creations because he thought it was she who leaked the video out of spite for Brooke. Ridge thought that Steffy's reason was that she was hoping Brooke's affair would end Ridge and Brooke's marriage, thereby freeing Ridge to reunite with Steffy's mother, Taylor.

-Upon hearing the news of Steffy being let go from Forrester Creations, Taylor quickly signed over her 25 percent of Forrester Creations stock to Steffy in an attempt to save Steffy's position in the company.

-Hearing of the stock being given to Steffy, her brother, Thomas, became jealous because he was the eldest Forrester heir and hadn't gotten his share yet.

-When it is later revealed that the real culprit in leaking the video was in fact Liam Spencer. Steffy forgives Liam for implicating her and becomes attracted to him.

-Steffy fails with Liam at that time and decides to get away from all the upset by jetting away to Paris, France for an extended European business trip.

2011—

Steffy returns from Paris In 2011. She continues to bond with Bill Spencer, Liam's father. Also, she saves a pregnant Amber from falling off a cliff. Before saving Amber she ran into a shaken Bill leaving the scene just after Amber fell over the edge. After saving her, she confronts Bill at his office, believing he was the cause of Amber's accident. After a long scolding from Steffy, Bill admits he had the intention of pushing Amber over the edge, but a falling tree branch had beat him to it. Steffy calms him down and talks him out of his dangerous thoughts about Amber. She agrees not to tell anyone Bill's dirty secret, as long as he promises to never do such a thing again. However his wife Katie finds out and goes crazy.

Bill's marriage becomes in jeopardy due to him confiding his anger against Amber to Steffy and shutting Katie his wife out emotionally. Bill and Katie later get counseling from Taylor which ends in complete disaster. It was during this time that Bill's relationship with Steffy escalated from a serious attraction to a secret love affair. While nothing happened between them physically, Bill found himself falling for Steffy more and more with each day that passed. He's conflicted. For even though he's married and wants to stick to his commitment, he can't deny the feelings he has for Steffy. Steffy, Taylor and Ridge join Bill on his private jet on a mission to save Thomas and Brooke after the plane goes down over Fiji. Bill jumps into the search head on, calling in some military friends to help with a satellite feed. Brooke and Thomas are saved and this proves to be a pivotal moment Bill and Steffy. Overjoyed that her brother has been saved, Steffy tells Bill she loves him and he tells her he loves her as well for the first time. After returning to LA, Bill finds himself unable to concentrate at work for all he think about is Steffy. He goes to see her at her grandparent's guest house and after a heated encounter Bill tells Steffy that he meant what he said on his jet, that he does in fact love her. When plans for Steffy's parents to reunite crumble, She feels lonely and abandoned. Bill takes care of her at the cliff house in Malibu and tells Steffy that he loves her again before pulling her into a passionate embrace. Things become very serious with Steffy after their night at the cliff house. Bill comes to Taylor's house to see Steffy, and ends up informing Taylor that she has power over Thomas' newly acquired stock in Forrester. Taylor then goes to the office to enforce her newfound power, leaving Bill and Steffy alone at the house. Bill asks to see her bedroom and makes a move on her. She stops him however, informing him that she refuses to be the other woman and doesn't want her heart to be broken. Bill looks her in the eye and tells her that he won't make her the other woman and that he is going to leave his wife, no longer having the strength to fight the feelings he has for her. They proceed with their embrace and attempt to make love, only to be interrupted by Taylor who had just come home. Taylor confronts the both of them, wanting to know why a very married Bill was locked upstairs with Steffy. He tells Taylor that he is in love with Steffy, and is heading home to end his marriage to Katie so he can begin a life with Steffy. Steffy does her best to calm her worrying mother while Bill arrives home. He walks in the door ready to tell Katie he wants a divorce, only to be greeted by their family, friends and a minister. Katie had organized a surprise vow renewal for the two of them, completely blindsiding Bill.

Liam goes into the bedroom with Bill and notices his father's frustration. Bill tries to walk out on the ceremony but Liam talks him out of it, thinking Bill doesn't love Steffy. But Bill informs him otherwise and that he came home that night, wanting to end his marriage. Bill reluctantly goes through with the ceremony and berates Katie for making huge decisions without him. He returns to Steffy the next morning. She's shocked to find him still wearing his wedding ring after the promise he made to her the previous evening. He informs her of the ceremony and asks for more time to make things right. Taylor then returns home and berates Bill after noticing as well that he is still wearing his ring. She accuses Bill of using Steffy and despite Steffy's attempts to defend him, Taylor tells him to leave. That he is no longer welcome to come see Steffy in her home while he is married. Liam then calls his father looking for him, he makes a last minute attempt to talk Bill into staying with Katie but Bill shuts him down, determined to end his marriage and start a life with Steffy. Bill and Steffy then meet up at her new loft that she purchased from Jackie and Owen and spend quality time together. Steffy informs him that she purchased the loft for the two of them and the life they're planning together. Bill then gives her a sterling silver sword necklace with a large diamond. It's the Spencer emblem, only Bill and Liam wear the sword and he gives one to Steffy, as a symbol of his love. They spend and enjoyable afternoon together, planning out their future and all the places they want to live. Bill tells Steffy that his one and only true home is with her and wherever they go. Things however take a turn for the worst when Bill leaves for his board meeting. Katie learns from Taylor that Bill has been cheating on her with Steffy, intending to leave her. Bill later confirms it, placing the blame for many of they're biggest issues on her. She has a heart attack and Bill finds himself more conflicted than ever. While his heart is with Steffy and he is more than anxious to start a life with her, he does still love Katie and refuses to leave her side until she is better. Which Steffy encourages him to do, promising to be patient. After being stabilized, Katie sneaks out of the hospital and off to Steffy's loft wanting answers. She learns from Steffy that the relationship she shares with Bill is indeed real and they love each other. She finds Bill's hospital visitor tag on Steffy's table and realizes he had just been there while she was asleep at the hospital. Bill ultimately makes a huge sacrifice and ends things with Steffy. He tells her he's concerned about Katie's weak heart and doesn't want to break his vows to her. Steffy is heartbroken, refusing to believe he would go back on the promises he made to her. Bill tells her he does indeed love her and wants her to be happy and she agrees, telling him she will. But Steffy then challenges him, asking if he would be happy with Katie. Bill is unable to answer her question. Hurt and betrayed she tells him to leave and reluctantly does as she asks.

When Steffy nearly drowns later that afternoon, Liam saves her from dying, and she has a new found connection/feelings with Liam. Feeling that Hope is neglecting him. As Steffy and Liam gets closer to each other and they kiss, Liam thinks that Hope doesn't want him anymore (he recently proposed to her and she accepted) he takes Hope's ring and asks Steffy to marry him she accepts and they make love.The next day they leave for Aspen which was(set up by Bill to keep Hope from stopping the marriage) and while in Aspen Steffy and Liam get married there (despite Hope showing up and trying to stop it, she was locked inside of a Gondola).The next day after their wedding night in Aspen Steffy and Liam returned home married, with Bill very pleased. Hope tries to accepts the marriage despite her unresolved feelings for Liam; but her mother Brooke is very suspicious (and so is Katie) that Steffy tricked Liam into marrying her.A couple of days later Steffy confesses to Liam that she knew Hope was in Aspen, but they remained married. Despite their marriage, Liam still has deep feelings for Hope, who has partially moved on with Steffy's brother, Thomas Forrester.

However, while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Liam finds out that Hope is at the same resort as he and Steffy, and that she is with Thomas. What angers Liam even more is that Steffy knew about them being there and didn't tell him. This causes Liam to go after Hope on an ATV. Hope, who is riding with Thomas on their own ATV, sees Liam coming after them and tells Thomas to stop. Once they do, Liam goes to Hope and kisses her. Hope and Liam finish their kiss. She can't believe he's there. Thomas confronts Liam, saying, "You're married to my sister!" Liam and Hope, however, get on his ATV, and Thomas gets on the other. As they head back, they see Steffy on ground unconscious, having been injured when her ATV crashed while she was trying to get to Liam in order to stop him from getting to Hope. At the hospital, Liam urges Steffy to open her eyes. The accident of Steffy made Bill (her father-in-law), Taylor and Ridge (her parents) to go to Mexico (at the hospital). Liam was ready to leave Steffy for Hope, but Bill creates a lie that if Steffy gets upset in any way a blood clot could cause her death. So in light of that news, Liam chooses to stay with his wife while she recovers leaving Hope devastated. Bill's lie gets exposed when Katie finds out that he switched the MRI results. Despite him locking her in a tower in order to make sure that she doesn't tell all, Katie manages to get out of there and finally gets to Liam and tells him what she found out, leaving him angry at not only Steffy but his father as well. Liam then goes to the roof of Forrester Creations to find Hope there. He tells her what Katie told him, and they share some intimate kisses. However when they confront Bill about what they know and what they want from him, he refuses to support Liam and Hope as a couple, reminding his son that Steffy is his wife/lover. However, Liam's mind is made up, and he tells Steffy that even though he knows that she had nothing to do with the MRI fiasco with his father, their marriage is over. Steffy, on the other hand, vows not to give up on their marriage and them. Liam finally decides to have both Hope and Steffy come over to his place so that he can tell them both who he has decided to be with. When he blames himself for Steffy's accident, she tells him that it wasn't his fault that it happened. Despite Steffy telling him that she just wants to be the kind of wife that he can be proud to have, Liam tells her that after what happened in Cabo and the role Steffy and his father played in keeping him away from Hope, he has made his choice. Liam breaks Steffy's heart by choosing Hope. Steffy, however still has feelings for Liam, has no intention of letting Liam go so easily and knows Liam is still in love with her and will come back to her, even going so far as to make Liam feel guilty for presenting her with annulment papers to sign so that he can end their marriage so he can marry Hope. However, Steffy doesn't sign the annulment papers, causing Liam and Hope to wait 6 months before him and Steffy are legally divorced and that Hope and Liam could tie the knot.

When Rick and her are alone, she questions him about what she overheard. Rick admits he still has feelings for her and asks her if she any herself. She tells him no, saying she is still in love with her soon to be ex-husband. Rick however has no intention of giving up anytime soon. Whilst he stages another conversation with Marcus but Brooke ends up hearing it instead of Steffy. She is outraged and confronts Rick. After Marcus leaves Rick assures his mother that he is doing it for Hope so she can marry Liam sooner. Brooke promises not to tell her husband of Rick's deception for Hope's sake. After which Steffy walks in and Brooke keeps the act up by telling Steffy to keep their work together professional. Rick continues to flirt with Steffy that leads to him giving her another copy of the annulment papers. She eventually does sign them and Rick takes off to Hope, Liam and Brooke to inform them of the news.
